Woke Up in America (Matt Maher)
Capo 1
Intro G C 3x
Verse 1
G C
I was born on a rock in the middle of the ocean
G C
Where the wind's so rough it can carry you to London
Am C
It's a new found land with an old soul reaching
G C
For the light of day
Verse 2
G C
My parents gave me a life full of dreams
G C
Yeah they gave me a heart to endure most anything
Am C
But everyone gets a broken pair of wi ngs
G
And if you try to fly you'll fail
D
But a voice said "Lift up your head"
Em C
And my heart burst out of my chest
Chorus
G C
I woke up in America for the love of God
G C
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself
Em C
More than fireworks and fanfare
G D
More than a star-spangled banner
Em C
You're still beautiful America
Verse 3
G C
Yeah its late in the night look in the mirror
G C
Count the lines on my face and wonder how they got there
Am C
Oh but every one's a story of how grace appeared
G
And carried me through the day
D
And the voice said, "this land ain't dead"
Em C
You still got better days up ahead
Chorus
G C
I woke up in America for the love of God
G C
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself
Em C
More than fireworks and fanfare
G D
More than a star-spangled banner
Em C
You're still beautiful America
Solo Em C G D 2x
Bridge
C
I've seen the horizon ablaze in Arizona
G D
Shoreline shoutin' over California
C
Moonlight dancin' over the Dakotas
G D
It breaks your heart, it's so beautiful
C
Lady Liberty, she leaves the light on
G D
From the west side all the way to Long Island
C
Carolina Coast to the Rocky Mountains
G D
The sun is shining over me
Chorus
G C
I woke up in America for the love of God
G C
I woke up in America for something bigger than myself
Em C
More than wealth or depression
G D
More than a red or blue nation
Em C
Here in our hells and our heaven
G D
You're still beautiful America
G C
You're beautiful America
G C G
